getting my Document's parent sharepoint Folder

Question

I have a sharepoint document library containing documents and folders (the folders are newly introduced as a new content type derived from folder) and I'm having an event reciever on document added only to my folders. So to recover the parent folder of my newly added document I tried to write this way but it doesn't seem to work well :

public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties) { base.ItemAdded(properties); //getting the item (document) newly added to my content type folder SPListItem myItem = properties.ListItem; //getting the folder containing my doc SPFolder myFolder = myItem.File.ParentFolder; //other code on my SPFolder }

While adding the document, have you identified and select the folder? Added the document inside your desired folder? — Arsalan Adam Khatri

see I'm making an event handler, so I'm not concerned with the adding ,I'm just dectecting my added document and I'm trying to retrieve its parent folder's name — Glolita

You're missing a check if myItem.File is null, so your code will crash when a folder is added, but besides from that it looks ok.

Try this:

SPFolder parentFolder = null; if (spListItem.Folder != null) { parentFolder = spListItem.Folder.ParentFolder; } else if (spListItem.File != null) { parentFolder = spListItem.File.ParentFolder; } else { SPFile spFile = spListItem.Web.GetFile(spListItem.Url); if (spFile != null) parentFolder = spFile.ParentFolder; }
